Wheel Bearing Advice

[sambulance]

Hi all. I need to change my rear wheel bearings and some advice on the removal and the tools used. I have changed the fronts before which was a long job removing the steering knuckle and pressing out the bearing at a friends workshop. I am now looking to buy my own bearing/hub tools. I know this can be done on the car with the cup and thrust plate tools. Has anyone had any good experience with these tools or should i stick to a slide hammer and the press. Also on the removal side am i correct in thinking the rear bearings are inside the hub unlike the fronts where the hub is pressed in to the bearing. Assuming this is correct will the inner race will remain on the stub axle and the rest of the bearing in the hub rear. Any extra tips on the tools or the removal would be great. thanks
